Review on πŸ”’ TRIM-LOK Edge Trim: Flexible PVC Edge Protector for 3/16" Edge - Easy to Install & Durable - 25ft Length by Robert Aiono

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks good quality - installation suggestions

Bought this to protect my elderly dog's feet on the Harbor Freight aluminum ramp. The assembly was easy and the edge protection feels comfortable. I'll report back later if that changes. Here are some installation tips from what I learned: * Use trauma shears to make the cuts. I wanted to make a right angle bend on one end and a taper on the other. Trauma shears cut both PVC and aluminum with ease. I couldn't do it with a hacksaw, tin snips or bolt cutters. They cut through PVC but not thin aluminum. A sharp knife is great for making square cuts, but it also won't cut aluminum on the inside.* Do not use a hammer or mallet to speed up installation. In my case, this caused the aluminum to spread and loosen during installation. I had much better luck hand-rearing the fur. It was an easy install and seems to be holding firmly to my 1/16" aluminum edge on the ramp (see photo and video).
